PostInstallExe
String ([file-path] file-name)
Not specified
Purpose
After files are installed on a presentation client during the automatic software upgrade process, you may want to perform additional installation procedures.
Use the PostInstallExe parameter to specify a user‑written program that is run after the installation of all JADE software. If your specified parameter value does not include the full path, the user‑defined program must be located in the jade.exe binary directory.
As the JADE automatic download installation program jaddinst.exe automatically uses the name of the presentation client executable defined in this parameter if the value is jade or jade.exe, you can therefore use the same JADE initialization file parameter to re‑initiate the presentation client regardless of whether the standard presentation client initiated the download.
If you do not specify this parameter (that is, it is empty), the command line initiating the jade.exe program that started the process on the presentation client is optionally invoked in response to a message box question to the user and the installation process terminates.
If you specify the PostInstallExe parameter, the program that you define is run with the command line that originally started the jade.exe process with the current directory set to the directory of jade.exe and the JADE installation process terminates.
It is the responsibility of your user‑defined program to determine what happens after the JADE installation process terminates. The JADE installation process is considered complete, regardless of the user‑defined program that you run.
